Damian Hinds: The Government is making changes to tax credits and Universal Credit which will help put welfare spending on a more sustainable path. The Government wants to move from a low wage, high tax, and high welfare society to a higher wage, lower tax, and lower welfare society. That means more emphasis on supporting hardworking families on low incomes by reducing income tax through increases in the...

Lord Davies of Oldham: ...just modest increases—and not in the national living wage but in the minimum wage. That will certainly ensure that working people will receive such modest increases that they will be savaged by the reduction in the tax credits they would otherwise have received, but those are part of the Government’s necessary austerity measures.

Mark Durkan: ...Executive and between parties, so there is a different course that can be followed on all this. As for some of the other provisions, I have no doubt that the Government will go further in their cuts to corporation tax. I know that they are saying that they want to get to 18% by 2020, but the Chancellor said in the second year of the last Parliament that there would be no more corporation...

Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh: The consequence of this Budget is that 1.8 million women in low-paid work across the UK will lose an average of just over £1,000 a year over the next five years. Cuts to child and working tax credits will hit 2.8 million women in total, two-thirds of those affected.

Ian Blackford: We hear from the Institute for Fiscal Studies that the gross impact of the higher minimum wage will be about £4 billion, but that the cuts to tax credits represent about £6 billion. The proportion of children in poverty who are from families in work rose from 54% to 63%, and that statistic can only get worse. It is little surprise that the Government want to redefine child poverty....

Damian Hinds: The reforms to Child Tax Credit and Housing Benefit will ensure that in the future, families on benefits will have to make the same financial decisions as families supporting themselves through work.

Alison Thewliss: To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to Paragraph 2.103 of the Summer Budget 2015, if he will estimate the number of women who will be affected by the limit of child tax credits; and how many such women will be covered by exceptional circumstances.

Priti Patel: ...working families, which the Labour party has not supported, just as it failed to support our reform measures last time around. The Bill, alongside other measures, will ensure that the welfare system is fair to taxpayers while supporting the most vulnerable, and, as all hon. Members on the Government Benches have said, ensuring that work always pays more than a life on benefits. It will...
